Are cops allowed to ask for your address like that? I guess they probably are, since they're allowed to ask for a driver's license, but... I sure as hell wouldn't want that guy to know where I lived.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to not comment on the rest of the post. I haven't been following the situation, so I don't feel qualified to remark.Llencelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08198950584501536101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989955.post-7219870127179958472008-05-02T21:55:00.000-07:002008-05-02T21:55:00.000-07:00I just added you too!I just added you too!donna darkohttp://donnadarko.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989955.post-91926249701938317332008-05-02T20:27:00.000-07:002008-05-02T20:27:00.000-07:00Nice to find you here - I've only been blogging fo...Nice to find you here - I've only been blogging for about a month, but I'll put you on my list and I'll make sure to check in regular like.hysperiahttp://www.alternet.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989955.post-54986220501592617912008-05-02T14:08:00.000-07:002008-05-02T14:08:00.000-07:00what happened to Sean Bell is at least partly the ...<I>what happened to Sean Bell is at least partly the result of the enforcement of traditional masculinity</I><BR/><BR/>I said that but doubt anyone else thought of that.donna darkohttp://donnadarko.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989955.post-73275146956519308152008-05-02T14:06:00.000-07:002008-05-02T14:06:00.000-07:00Police brutality is a feminist issue.

Women care so much about everything. <BR/><BR/>Are all issues anti-racist issues? Animal rights? Environmentalism? Erectile dysfunction? We can't even get men of color to admit feminism is an anti-racist issue.donna darkohttp://donnadarko.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989955.post-7098734132293405392008-05-02T08:57:00.000-07:002008-05-02T08:57:00.000-07:00A tangent:traditional conceptions of masculinity h...A tangent:<BR/><BR/><EM>traditional conceptions of masculinity helped to cause Sean Bell's death (not to exonerate any of his killers from their individual responsibility, to be clear)</EM><BR/><BR/>I don't think these two explanations of Sean Bell's death are incompatible, mutually exclusive, or competitors. The acts of these individuals were acts enforcing and performing (and thereby instantiating) the traditional conception of masculinity.
